Lisa Marie Presley’s 14-year-old twins Finley and Harper at the center of huge custody battle

The 14-year-old twin daughters of Lisa Marie Presley, 54, and Michael Lockwood, 61, may be at the center of a custody battle as family members mourn the death of the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll’s daughter after she went into cardiac arrest and died on Thursday.

Sources connected to the Presley family said TMZ that Lockwood is ready to take the battle to court if necessary, saying “It’s going to be a cold day in hell before I relinquish custody of those kids.”

Lockwood currently has 40 percent custody of the twins, Finley and Harper, who were living with Lisa Marie at the time of her death. He had 60 percent majority custody.

The outlet said there were rumors that Lisa Marie’s ex Danny Keough and their daughter Riley could also fight for custody of the children.

Priscilla Presley, the mother of Lisa Marie, who was seen rushing to West Hills Hospital and Medical Center within hours of her daughter’s medical emergency, can also make a claim, the outlet said.

Due to the age of the twins, it is likely that if the battle goes to court, a judge will take into account their preferences.

Lisa Marie was married to Keough, Michael Jackson, and Nicholas Cage before Lockwood.

In 2021, the 54-year-old begged a judge to ‘officially declare her single’ from Lockwood, after five years of separation after he refused to divorce her.

Her ex-husband Danny Keough, the first of four, with whom she lived, had returned to the house shortly after she collapsed and performed CPR until paramedics arrived.

Keough is the father of actress daughter Riley, 33, and son Benjamin, who committed suicide in July 2020 at age 27.

“It’s so touching how every year you come from all over the world and it touches me and my family and thank you.”
